Color Scheme UN-Inspiration

I have been asking Tasoe some question about minis and have invariable started sending him some color scheme demotivation pictures when I see them. Thought I could share a few here starting with my own.

Before I know I said that any paint on minis is better than none but I'm starting to seriously rethink that statement.

You did these? I've seen the first one before on this forum...

I remember the orc was in the previous exchange but I see that it was your sending so it doesn't count as an insulting comment!

When I look at the blue/orange gargoyle, I doubt I could eat the amount I want to vomit.

I'm having trouble breathing - partly due to laughing partly due to gag reflexes!
Looking at these just raises so many questions!
Were these painted by colorblind monkeys? In fact a monkey could probably paint better!
Why is the gargoyle blue? And yellow and orange and red? Did he get raped by a rainbow?
Are his balls blue too? How is it possible to even create such a terrible color scheme?
I mean... You'd have to create such bad schemes deliberately. It can't happen by chance?
There's a challenge for you painters! Try making that scheme work on a gargoyle!
Why is the orc wearing white leggings? Does he get chilly in the dungeons? That's fair enough I guess.
Why are all the chaos warriors so different? There are no theme or coherency going on at all. Are they even finished?
You know what? They are freaking CHAOS warriors! They don't give a fraggle about the color of their armors!
In fact these are the most chaotic chaos warriors I've ever seen!
Well done you freak. WELL DONE! 10/10 would brofist while riding lavasharks to Ironmaiden soundtrack

Overall I rate these: 2 blue balls

Only the first one is mine. I'll repent of it one day and send billdask a proper mini when I feel I can get good enough. The rest come from ebay images I come across while browsing. I have no idea how/why I always find ones like this while searching.

I do believe a rainbow sexually gratified itself on that gargoyle while it was in stoneform and didn't know what was going on.

I just had a package returned that I tried to mail to him (it got wet somehow and Greece decided they could not deliver it). I can include something to compensate him for you.

I dare you to do the gargoyle color scheme challenge!

I do not have an extra gargoyle, sadly. I think I might have an old Bloodthirster, though. Maybe a paint-scheme that is high-contrast and surreal.

I have a Gargole with a pink helmet, I think.
You wouldn't believe how many awfully painted HQ minis I've seen.
It was the blast among 9-yr-old Germans who didn't have the slightest idea what Fantasy as a genre or wargaming as a hobby was.
The things I've seen. And own.

Browse Revell paints. You'll get the idea.

That sounds like when one of your friends introduces you to his girlfriend and then tells you how good she is at painting miniatures, although she actually isn't. I usually tell them they're not good, but mostly people probably wouldn't.
